On my monstercross bike, the entire theme is brown/pink. "Shart Brown" (company's own words) frame/fork, pink bartape, full housing cables, headset/cap, seatpost collar, rims, hubs and sometimes (on race days) even has pink IRD CrossFire tires. It wears a pink top tube badge bearing it's name: Strawberry Shartcake. There are pink decals on the front of the forks bearing my team's logo "So Soft", and a "Ride A <expletive> Bike" sticker on the downtube.

My beater is a 1988 Trek 400 that I haven't done any touch up work to so it's white/blue/rust. I did a blue/white harlequin wrap cotton bartape, but now that's all dirty and gnawed up. I build up a pair of blue IRO Cold Fusion rims on matching IRO high flange hubs. Aside from that, it's a 64cm frame and still has 7" of seatpost showing, so it's pretty obvious that it's mine. Not like some short dude is going to try and roll off with it without draping his marbles on either side of the top tube. This one also has a "Ride A <expletive> Bike" sticker on the top tube.

My brevet/commuter is all black and chrome. Black frame/fork, polished cranks, steel polished fenders, mirror finish rims/hubs, chromed racks with black canvas luggage.
